Is It Possible to Have a Responsible 2 Year Old?

Dylan has been very impressive today. I'm not saying that he didn't still have moments where he's a pretty typical 2 y/o.

Today while I was vacuuming the basement, he finished lunch then put himself in bed. I got up there as he was pulling his covers up. He had a poopy diaper so I had to help him out a little, but I was proud of him for knowing that he needed to take a nap.

Then tonight after a couple helpings of spaghetti snakes and green beans, he knew Mela needed to be fed. I kind of blew him off because I was talking to Wes, then we heard the clink of food in her bowl. He had gone in by himself and dished her out some food.

I love this kid who's so good at taking turns, but not always sharing. Who likes to put the soap in the dishwasher and turn it on. Who typically has a long list of things and people he's thankful for in his prayers. What a great and slightly silly kid.

And the time that he spilled the dirt from your plant and tried to clean it up. What a stinker! He is so dang cute!

What a good boy! I hope it lasts when baby #2 comes, they always like to pull a little regression when something like that happens! He's such a big boy, I can't even believe it!
